Grading

A Grading System is a standardized method used by educational institutions to evaluate and communicate students' academic performance. It typically involves assigning letters (A, B, C, etc.), numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.), or percentages to represent the quality of a student's work. The grading system helps in assessing students' understanding of the subject matter, providing feedback, and determining eligibility for advancement or graduation.

This is where you can create, manage, and view different grading templates. These templates define the criteria and standards for grading students' work. Each template can have a specific grading type, such as absolute or relative grading, and can be customized to fit the needs of different courses or programs.

Printing​

Print option enables you to print the details of the grade templates for easy reference and record-keeping. You may download that into MS Excel. You may customize the output by selecting parameters.
